Tired of the blaring sound of TV commercials? Sick of having to squelch the volume whenever you switch to a louder channel? Terk's VR-1 TV volume regulator lets you enjoy clean, consistent sound while channel-surfing or watching your favorite shows. Its advanced digital signal processing responds within just thousandths of a second to reduce volume spikes or boost abnormally quiet scenes.

The VR-1 connects in-line between your TV and virtually any other type of home audio component via standard RCA audio connections. Once you've set the volume you want, just leave it alone  operation is fully automatic. A bypass button is provided if you prefer to hear a show's full dynamic range. This handy device even has built-in noise reduction technology to clean up audible "hiss" from noisy TV signals.

Note: To use the VR-1 with your TV, you need to either connect a component like a VCR or receiver to your TV's audio/video input or run line-level audio from your TV to a separate receiver or audio system, with the VR-1 connected in-line.

WORKS GOOD, SURE WILL SAVE MY EAR'S. BUT LACKS HAVING A ON OFF SWITCH..OR A AUDIO SIGNAL POWER SHUT OFF SWITCH..

Works great FOREVER

Written By MultiMediaMike, Ft Lauderdale, FL on Monday, June 18, 2012

This is the second one im getting I have had one in my main room for 6 years and it works perfect! It is fast response to loud background noise from silent parts or the intro of car commericals. I have no idea about the previous comment about it wearing out or not lasting more than 6 months?

Volume Regulator

Works great. Before I got the VR-1, I had to hold the remote and try to anticipate when there would huge volume changes in movies and going from TV to commercials. Drove me crazy. Now, I no longer have to do that. A real ear saver. Easy to install, too. Plug it in, re-route your RCA cables into it, and away you go.

the audio levels between discs or MP3 tracks.

RCA output (to feed to the TV audio input). The only control is a two-way slide
switch for selecting "On" or "Bypass". Note: Line
level audio connections on the TV are required.
